Let’s Get Cooking!

1. Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce

This is a rainbow roll-up that earned the word DETOX in front of it, is packed full of nutritional value. This yummy recipe is made with powerhouse foods like carrots, chickpeas, curry, red cabbage, peanuts, and dark leafy collard greens as the wrap. What puts it over the top is the savory peanut sauce you dip the roll up into!

2. Vegan White Mac and Cheese

This vegan mac and cheese are made with nut milk, vegan cream cheese, vegan parmesan, and vegan butter. This macaroni and cheese is just as creamy and decadent as the traditional version. Top with Italian breadcrumbs if you want a crunchy top.

3. Vegan “Meatball” Subs

These vegan “meatballs” are incredibly tasty and hearty you would never guess what they are made from. A blend of beans, onions, mushrooms, walnuts, and bread crumbs make up the mix for the vegan meatballs. Serve them on toasted buns with a drizzle of marinara sauce and vegan Parmesan cheese.

4. Portobello Mushroom Fajitas

This vegetable fajita recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight. Since portobello mushroom is a meaty veggie they work perfectly in these vegan fajitas. This meal can be made in just 30 minutes. Finish the fajitas with tortillas, salsa, guacamole or whatever Mexican toppings you like!

5. Mushroom Bolognese

If you ever miss having meat then mushrooms make for a great substitution. This savory mushroom dish is flavored with red wine, chopped Italian tomatoes, diced veggies, garlic, and thyme. This Italian bolognese will leave you full and satisfied.

6. Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

What I like about this stuffed sweet potato is that it’s really easy to cook especially for someone who doesn’t like or know how to cook. Your only real concern is baking the sweet potato on a sheet pan. Once that’s almost cooked fully then you stuff it with a spiced mixture of onions and black beans and put it back into the oven. Not everyone is a fan of cashew cream so a drizzle of vegan yogurt will do the trick!

7. Cauliflower Ricotta Stuffed Shells

Rather than stuffing these giant shells with the traditional ricotta mixture, this recipe calls for a mixture of cauliflower, nutritional yeast, almond milk, onion, and garlic powder. Then pour your favorite marinara sauce on top. The best part about this vegan “ricotta” mixture it still tastes ridiculously creamy!

8. Bangkok Coconut Curry Noodle Bowl

This flavorful broth is seriously good. It’s made with red curry paste, ginger, coconut milk, vegetable broth, hot chili paste, and soy sauce. This broth will make your home smell so good! Please note to make this recipe completely vegan, just omit the fish sauce.

9. Eggplant Gyros

Gyros are usually made with meat like lamb, beef or chicken then it’s wrapped in a pita. But to have a vegan gyro eggplant is your best veggie option. It’s meaty and can hold up to stronger flavors! After cooking the eggplant add all of your favorite Mediterranean flavors like cucumber, tomato, red onions, and hummus.

10. Mushroom and Leek Risotto

Vegetable risotto can be quite a filling dish that couldn’t be easier to make. Just stir in sautéed mushrooms, leeks, vegetable stock, and vegan butter into the cooked arborio rice. In 30 minutes you can have a rich and flavorful vegan meal.

11. Chickpea Veggie Burgers

Chickpea is another perfect vegan-friendly vegetable that can substitute as meat. These hearty burgers are made with mashed chickpeas, diced onion, grated zucchini, and oats. My favorite part is the few secret sauce ingredients that give them insane flavor.

So what are your favorite vegan recipes? Try these out and let me know what you think.
